We report a new fungus as an agent of fungal keratitis in a diabetic woman. The fungal etiology was established by classic microbiology and PCR following 3 months of antibacterial therapy. The morphological features of the isolate and sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region indicate a new species of Pyrenochaeta (Coelomycetes).

Article Synopsis
- This study explored how rhizosphere microbial communities, particularly fungi, impact the growth of Norway spruce trees across four developmental stages in a protected area.
- Using Illumina sequencing to analyze the fungal diversity, findings revealed that saprotrophic fungi decreased while mycorrhizal fungi increased as the tree stands matured.
- The composition of these fungal communities supports natural regeneration of spruce and suggests a healthy balance that benefits the forest ecosystem, particularly in Wigry National Park.
